AMONG the gentlemen on the committee
on foreign relations to whom the entire
consular service and all respectable Ameri-
can citizens should be grateful, we mention
the names of Hit, Clements, Phelps,
Grain, and Cox. All during the forty.ninth
Congress these distinguished representa-
tives have been indefatigable In their efforts
to secure certain necessary reforms In the
foreign service Of our country, but the ag
eregate force Of ignorance and illiberality
in the House bafiled their wise endeavors
and left the service virtually as 1t has been
for the past ten years. All Of the gentle.
men noted above deserve emphatic recog-
milton at the hands OF the American peo-
pie, and any special honor conferred upon
them from any source would be greeted
with sincere approval by all who have the
honor and welfare OF the country In view.
Two Of these gentlemen, under Republican
administrations, have represented the
United States at foreign courts with rare
tact and ability, and the other three would
reflect credit upon our country should they
be called upon to assume the responsible
ties Of diplomatic missions abroad Recently
the Austrian government has removed the
unpleasant condition of affairs existing be.

foreign Office by appointing au envoy ex-
traordinary to this country In the person
OF DR.. Schmidt, and thus 1t has become the
duty of the present administration to ac.
knowledge this courtesy by sending a rep.

question, therefore, arises, "who is fully
equipped for the. duties of this post9" 1t is
post especially important now in view of
the irresistible European conflict from
which Austria cannot escape, and in which
Francis Joseph's Dragons may possibly
strike the first blow. We have mentioned
the names of three gentlemen admirably
qualified by training aud intelligence to
make themselves emInently useful In this
respect. Each has had large experience In
Congress aud all have been industrious and
useful members Of the House committee on

Should all or any portion of the south be
so blindly besotted as to refuse, on these
conditions, all the rights of citizea ship to
the colored men, then there would be but one
course left for them to pursue. They should
migrate and seek some section Of the great
republic where, In the language OF the
fathers OF the country, sail men are free
and equal"
The colored men OF the south, by their
labor, add every year five hundred million
dollars to the wealth OF that section, and
they expend what they earn, not boarding,
but using it, thus keeping all the product of
their labor in active use. The south can
not afford to lose this vast army Of
producers, who are now restless because of
the deprivation of their rights, and the
owners Of the soil will be glad to accept the
method proposed as the most feasible one
offered to settle questions which threaten
the future prosperity of their section.
The NATIONAL REPUBLICAN desires to re.
iterate It's previous assertion Of desire to
benefit the colored men of the south espe-
cially, as well as the whole country gener-
ally. 1t has been aud will continue to be
bold defender of every right aud privilege
of the colored men, and 1t Is because OF this
that IL points the way by which 1t honestly
believes all these rights and privileges can
best be secured.
President Cleveland has certainly read
ancient history, and from a party stand
point his effort was "to divide and con-
quer," but the NATIONAL REPUBLICAN,
does not fear the result to the Republican
party should the division be made, On the
contrary, 1t believes II would add to the
strength of the party, while 1t would prove
blessing to the country.

WHAT THEY DID.

People are continually
getting into a feverish con-
dition Of mind over what
other people did, are doing,
or ought to do. Now, GUS
tom is all very well. but it
is sometimes very much
out of the way. For in
stance, it was a custom
many years ago in Puritan
New England to burn peo-
pie who became a little
giddy, claiming they were
bewitched. That was the
custom. It is not now. Yet
there are more giddy peo-
pie than ever in the world.
But one of the time-hon-
ored customs that has been
perpetuatedin consequence
of its respectability is the
wearing Of fine laces and
embroideries as accessories
to ladies' toilets. This is
about the season for such
trade. Egyptian lore does
not designate the lace sea-
son; but this is not Egypt.
The Egyptians were excel
lent judges of fine laces.
They made much of it in
tn e ir wardrobes. That's
"what they did," Now, what
do we doP You wear it. We
sell it. At our lace and en-
broidery counter you will
find an immense variety of
edgings, insertings, scarfs,
fichus, 11ouncings, &C., at all

The peculiar condition of American pol.
itics has largelS, tfi9Gatributed to the failure,
80 lar t9 prevent or break into this danger
oue consolidation Of races into antagonistlc
political camps. The northern Demo-
Gratis, small minority in their states,
could only hope for political supremacy
through the south, and they encouraged
this race war as means to success for
themselves, knowing that they could hold
the southern Democrats In state OF
political peonage, because Of the partlcipa-
tion Of these Democrats in the rebellion.
The American, coming primarily, as he
does, from the AugloSaXoD, and absorbing
the better qualities OF other distinct nation
alities, particularly the German and Irish,
with century of free institutions to educate
him, is not only just, but liberal, aud read
lily comprehends, not only the folly, but the
injustice OF this color line In politics, aud
while he is partisan, he is also a citizen
and lover OF his country, and desires to
see 1t prosper.
Hence the proposal of President Cleve.
land, himself Democrat and elected to the
presidency by Democratic votes, to break
the color line, to destroy this race prejudice
by inviting the negroes Of the country TO
seat at the Democratic official table, opens
the way for the Republicans to make stint
lar offer to the whites OF the south.
Nor do we ascrlbe to President Cleveland
merely partisan motives for his action, and
while we acknowledge the wisdom OF his
course from a political standpoint, we can
readily concede that higher and more patrl-
otlc reasons induced his action in the
premises. The President saw not only party
advantage, but the good OF the whole coun-
try, when he declared as he has done over
his own signature, in his letter OF accept

Patriotism In Politics.

The gravest question In American pol
itics, with relation both to the present and
future of the great commonwealth, is that,
var!ously denominated by different men,
"race prejudice" "the color line" "the
negro in politics."
1t was to be expected that the sudden
precipitation of a mass OF over one million
voters, Of distinct race and generally with
out the slightest knowledge even Of what
freedom means, into the bodyEolitic would
create confusion, and this the more cer-
tainly because the vast majority OF these
voters were massed in the states where they
had been slaves, and placed upon political
equality with their former masters.
twas perfectly natural, though the politi-
cal result has been unfortunate, that those
men, first emanicipated and then given the
privileges of the franchise by the Republi-
can party should unite themselves en- nldSsc
with that party, and that they should, as
they have done, continue to give 1t their
allegiance and political support.
Norris it matter Of surprise to any think
ing man whs lie at all familiar with the his.
tory Of the world that In the old slave
states, the negroes having all united with
the Republican party, the whites should
almost as unitedly have affiliated with the
Democrats.
Race prejudices have always exerted a
powerful influence, and arc the hardest to
overcome OF any others. The Norman add
Saxon conquered Ireland centuries ago, but
the Apglo.Saxon and the Celt hate each
tn1l 1l,, tn 40 In, ba
days when the mail clad Norman and the
Saxon bowmeu were devastating Ireland.
So, too, the Hungarian and the Pole, the
Czech and the German, though politically
united under one government, are still
separated by race prejudices.
How much more was this to be expected
when, in addition to race prejudice, the
color line made so marked q distinction;
and the African, rescued from barbarism
only to pass into slavery, was elevated to
citizenship, placed upon the plane Of polit-
ical equality with his white neighbors, and
massed himself under the banner Of dis
tinctivepart
Neither the whites nor the blacks can be
seriously blamed for having thus separated
into contending bodies, each seeking political
supremacy, though no language is strong
enough to condemn the manner through
which the white element obtained and main
tain political power in some sections where
they are in minorityas as to numbers.
In the south, as In Ireland, Austria,
and other countries OF mixed nationalites.
there were some white men ''native and to
the manner born" and Others who had mi.
grated thither, who saw the danger that
must necessarily follow this division of a
people upon the color line and race preiu'
dice, and endeavored to avert it, and there
were some statesmen In the northern states
who entertained similar views, but these
were unable to stem the popular tide, aud
the result is, q community divided agaips,
itself upon race prejudice and the colo,
line.

line In politics.
President Cleveland has evidently studied
the political situation and seen the value
OF the colored vote In number of the north
ern states. New Jersey, New York, Con-
necticut, Ohio, and Indiana are confessedy
close states, generally going Republican
when the full strength Of each party is
polled. But when this is the case the en-
tire colored vote, almost to man, is given
to the Republican candidates.
Suppose even an equal division of the
colored vote In these states and sec the re-
suit. New York has 10000, New Jersey
10000, Connecticut 5000, Ohio 10000, and
Indiana $4,000 colored voters. President
Cleveland, with a political sagacity which
the small fry politicians Of his party are
not able to appreciate, has seen that even a
division Of the colored votes In these states,
giving one half TO the Democrats, woul1
so reduce the Republican and increase the
Democratic vote as to make all these states
reasonably sure to the Democratic candi.
dates. Even Massachusetts,, with It's 5000,
and Kansas, with It's $1,000 colored voters,
might be made Democratic, II these col
ored voters could be induced to vote the

out to them by President Cleveland in the
nomination Of Matthews and Trotter.
